UK to Proscribe Palestine Action After RAF Brize Nortion Vandalism

OXFORDSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, JUN 23 – Home Secretary Yvette Cooper plans to ban Palestine Action under terrorism laws after activists vandalised military planes to disrupt UK support for Israeli operations, with £55 million in damages reported.

  • On June 23, 2025, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe the Palestine Action group under the Terrorism Act during protests in central London.
  • The decision follows activists breaking into RAF Brize Norton last week, damaging military planes while protesting UK support for Israel in Gaza, and met police opposition to protests near Parliament.
  • Hundreds gathered in Trafalgar Square after a ban on protesting outside Parliament, waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans like 'We will not be silenced' amid police-imposed exclusion zones.
  • Chancellor Rachel Reeves condemned the group’s behaviour as 'totally unacceptable' for causing damage to military assets, while Baroness Chakrabarti warned proscription marks a 'very serious step' and may be an escalation too far.
  • If proscribed, the group will be legally classed as a terrorist organisation, making membership or support a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
